School Uniform
All pupils must dress according to our Uniform Policy, which reflects our values and reinforces our school’s culture of high expectations and academic achievement.
Our school uniform is important to us because it is one way in which we identify ourselves as a school family and it promotes a strong, cohesive school identity which supports high standards and expectations in all areas of school life.

Lost property
We understand that items can occasionally go missing during the school day. To help reunite students with their belongings:
- Primary students should speak to their Class Teacher, and Secondary students should speak to their Head of Year if they wish to be taken to the lost property room.
- We make every effort to return named items to their owners. To support this, we kindly ask that all clothing and footwear are clearly labelled with your child’s name.
- Please note that the school cannot accept responsibility for the loss or damage of pupils’ personal property or valuables.
- Any unclaimed lost property is donated to charity at the end of each half term.
Thank you for helping us keep lost property to a minimum!
